Chapter 21

Just You and Me

1,2,3,4,5 My heart pounded into my chest. I knew he could here my silent breathing ;I prayed that it wouldn't turn into laughter.

"Leigh? Come out, Come out where ever you are." He sang in a sickly sweet voice.

I ran into the backyard with him following me closely. "Eat my dust Clearwater." I said sprinting to the beach. Even as fast as I was going he was still faster and I knew it. Something stopped me, and Seth noticed my quick discomfort immediately.

"What's wrong?" He asked all traces of playing gone.

"Uh-Nothing" I said.

"Nothing? Nothing makes you tense up like that."

"Yes. I have a fear of nothing." I said rolling my eyes.

"Seriously what is it?"

"If I tell you, you can't go over there." I said to him

"Ok. What it is?"

"Pinky promise?"

"Yes. Yes, Now what is it?"

"Kyle's over there." I said pointing to the figure that sat on top of a rock.

He walked over to were Kyle was sitting and started to yell and as he yelled he shook harder. Yeah I didn't think he would stick to the promise. I watched Seth lose every ounce of self control he had, he yelled until he hit the point of phasing. After that he ran into the woods and I didn't see him come out. I walked closer to Kyle and saw that tears streamed down his face.

"Kyle?"

"Yeah."

"What really happened to Farrah?"

"What do you mean what really happened to Farrah?" he asked me

"You know exactly what I'm saying. I want the truth, you owe me."

"What makes you think I Know anything."

I gave him the look that makes people crawl under a rock.

"Fine!" He said defeated. "I know what happened, okay she died. We went out to Seattle and on the way back we got into a heated argument. I don't even know what it was about. Next thing I know is she's not next to me anymore, and I'm in the hospital. I would give anything to go back to that day and tell her she was right, just so I could have her in my arms again. She went flying out of the passenger seat, everyday I ask myself why couldn't it have been me. She was so perfect and sweet, she deserved to live her life; I deserved to die. They couldn't find her body for a year but today I found out today they found her body, dead." He said breaking out into a new set of tears.

I patted his arm, "I'm so sorry. She must have meant the world to you, but she wouldn't want you sitting here crying over her. She would want you to go on with your life and be happy, she knows it wasn't your fault it was an accident."

"She was my world." He said.

"I know it hurts." I said hugging him, well sort of hugging him.

He stayed quiet for a long moment. "Sorry about what happened that night. I was drunk, I didn't think about what I was doing."

"I-I forgive you." I said to him.

He smiled as he wiped away the stray tears from his face. "I have to go. Please, come to the funeral I need someone there that understands." I nodded my head as he walked away. I know it was stupid to try and comfort the jerk that hurt me, but he was in pain, Seth would just have to understand that not everything was pleasant in life. Somethings you just have to do.

Yeah basically Seth is going to blow a gasket when he finds out.
